North American Orchid Conservation Center (2018: $10,000) is a coalition of organizations dedicated to conserving the diverse orchid heritage of the United States and Canada. NAOCC was established by the Smithsonian Institution and the United States Botanic Garden to assure the survival of all native orchids in the U.S. and Canada. Biophilia has provided funds to: 1) help NAOCC build regional groups to help with local efforts to preserve orchids; 2) process seed (and the fungi critical to proper germination) collected by regional partners to develop research for propagation and restoration; and 3) preserve Platanthera yadonii (a rare orchid endemic to northern coastal Monterey County) at Fort Ord in California by curating seed and fungi for the seed and fungi banks so that new populations can be established.
Rocky Mountain Wolf Project (2019: $30,000) is educating Colorado residents about the significant benefits of reintroducing gray wolves into the western portion of the state. Colorado’s last wolf was killed in the 1940’s. Since that time elk and deer populations have exploded and disrupted habitat for beavers and songbirds. A pending November 2020 ballot initiative presents Colorado voters with a remarkable opportunity to reconnect wolf populations from the northern Rockies through southwestern New Mexico. https://www.rockymountainwolfproject.org/
Scenic Rivers Land Trust (2018: $10,000) is a local land trust near Annapolis, MD dedicated to preserving natural and scenic areas in Anne Arundel County, MD with a primary focus on the watersheds of the Severn, South, West, Rhode and Patuxent Rivers. Biophilia Foundation provided the foundational grant to support this work preserving the South River Greenway, a 10,000-acre forested area at the headwaters of the South River, outside Annapolis. The Greenway provides excellent habitat for more than a dozen species of forest interior dwelling birds and regionally important reptiles.
Trap Free New Mexico Coalition (2018: $5,000) is a coalition of wildlife organizations working to raise awareness of the harm trapping wildlife causes and to build support to ban trapping on public lands in the State of New Mexico. Trapping often harms endangered and protected species, including the Mexican gray wolf and imperils New Mexico’s public land, wildlife, people and companion animals. https://trapfreenm.org/
Wildlands Network (2018: $100,000 and 2019: $50,000) imagines a world where nature is unbroken and where humans co-exist in harmony with the land and its wild inhabitants.
